Hi I waited some as I did not think I had any additional information to contribute with. But I realize that I can gather some data and start to compile a page for others to start with.
As I said in the other mail thread I have created a first page here: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Wheezy/SpectreMeltdown I will not update this page further today. I'll get back to this to see if someone else have done something tomorrow, or early next week.
